Lots!!!
If its on a big field with an sort-of-oval course marked out in cones!!!

I broke it in the end though :(. I flung it left under braking (got it well sideways) then flung it right again to go round the corner, but lost the back end completley, collected 2 cones underneath and ripped the exhaust off from the downpipe :(.
Managed to get it fixed with a baked bean can, exhaust bandage and some jubilee clips but it fell apart again after a couple of hot laps!! I got the best time btw, 20.2 seconds for the lap (Mate got 20.3 :p).

Heres the beast:

My Renault 5 GTX came to an end abruptly one day, married to the front end of a VW Golf. That was after I went in between (hitting) a Saab and a Fiat. Wasnt my fault, insurance paid me more than I paid for the car. :D I think I went from 120 KPH (top speed) to 0 in about 50 feet.

I ended up with whiplash, a bruise from the steering wheel and the seatbelt. That was the night I left for Sardegna, Italy for a 3 month deployment.

had 2 R5's first one was a GTT which unsurprisingly went up in flames.. other was a 1.1TL which I had to drive around in for a bit cos the GTT was 3rd party only, have to admit, I had lots of fun in both of them, they really are a stonking little car to hoon around in.

I allways thought the most fun you could have in an R5 was to park it on its roof as thats what pretty much everyone I know thats had one has done that :confused:

An R5 GTX (well actually a Monaco) was the first 'quick' car I drove.

Waiting on the A1 for car in front to pull over.
Car in front started to pull over so I accelerated.
Car in front didn't actually pull over.
I overtook with two wheels on the grass and a surprised expression.

They are quite nippy. My own car was a Fiesta 950 which didn't accelerate as such above 50mph.

Oh, and the other guy had a surprised expression too.

It was my Mum's (new) R5 and she was in the passenger seat, also with an expression she doesn't use much.
